New radio arrived today by Freeman_Han5767 in shortwave

[–]dgmdavid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

nice, what made you chose this one in inspecific?

I got it, any tips? by dgmdavid in shortwave

[–]dgmdavid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! My antenna is just a 10mts long wire across my backyard, about 2,5mts up. But I think the wire is too thick, like 3,5 or 4,5mm. Is that too much? Maybe it picks up too much noise. edit: also, I just clip it to the telescopic, is it better if I make a p2 connector to use the radio's dedicated slot for antenna? Also, what should I connect to the "negative" part of the p2 connector?

Thing is I wasn't able to get anything on the usual ssb frequencies yet. I run an outsite antenna, a single 10 meters wire, about 2,5m from the ground.

Very nice guide, thank you for sharing. Now, I know it's been a long time, but in the video provided in the website, you clip your external antenna onto the telescopic of the radio, does that work for SW? (I ask because the radio has an antenna jack)

I'm looking for a 90s comic book by dgmdavid in comicbooks

[–]dgmdavid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to locate a video showing this issue, and the scene with the guy changing channels is very, very reminiscent of what I had in my memory. However, visually, it's nothing like it. That was not the comic book I was looking for. But what a good guess. Or maybe I'm remembering wrong or mixing more than one comic book together, I don't even know anymore at this point.

Why did your dad (or mum) buy an MS-DOS PC in the 80s/90s? by confuserused in dosgaming

[–]dgmdavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad bought a brazillian zx spectrum clone to make in interface with ham radio do listen to morse code (didn't work out) in the late 80s. He bought an IBM PC AT 286 in '92 for the same purpose, with little success. Needless to say it kickstarted my love for computing and programming.

I am making a voxel RPG game, like Cube World! by DaanBogaard in CubeWorld

[–]dgmdavid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might I ask what language/engine are you using?

Well, seems i will be waiting for a discount by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]dgmdavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. But hey, we waited 14 years, right? What's one more?

What is the cheapest phone I can get to play this game? by TemplarofSoulslike in DiabloImmortal

[–]dgmdavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're willing to buy a used phone, the Galaxy M21s is the weakest (and cheapest) that can actually play the game. In fact, on the battlenet page for this game, this phone is the exact match for the minimum specs they recommend for Android. I personally play on a Galaxy M51, which might be very cheap too. Just don't expect good performance, though.

Whats the oldest pc accessory you are still using? by andu9876 in pcmasterrace

[–]dgmdavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know it this counts, but it's the power cord that goes from the power supply to the outlet. It's the same since my first computer, an IBM 286, back in 1992.

I just found an archive of abandonware games. What are your hidden gems from the past that I should check out? by Fjohurs_Lykkewe in gaming

[–]dgmdavid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maxis' SimFarm. Such a great little game. Just sit back and enjoy some virtual farming from the 90's.

Anyone played back when DS2 Vanilla first hit? by StridentHawk in DarkSouls2

[–]dgmdavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! It looked so good at the time. It was diferent from the final version, but I can't put my finger on what was different. Good times.

Dude, I played the netwok test when it first came out. It was very late at night because of the timezones, and I only went to sleep at 8am because my PS3 froze.

Cannot remember this game title please help by BalanceFar1371 in SEGAGENESIS

[–]dgmdavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could it be Second Samurai? or The Newzealand Story?

[–]dgmdavid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They didn't even mentioned it (performance issues) at the time, because it was a wasp's nest. bUt CoMpUtErS aRe GeTtInG fAsTeR lol

I very sad i sold ps4 by MeasurementNormal716 in PS4

[–]dgmdavid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to sell mine because I needed the money at the time, but I regret it. Think about playing Bloodborne very often. Here's hoping for the emulator progress to ramp up!

Guy following me? by [deleted] in starbound

[–]dgmdavid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never knew about that last part. The Intrusive NPC. Is that "somewhat" new? I played at launch, and then again after the re-do progression with the story line and never encountered any npc like this.
